Dáil allegation: Adams claims garda informer Boylan contacted him

A man claiming to be the drug dealer and garda informer Kieran Boylan whose case triggered the surveillance sweep at GSOC’s HQ, yesterday contacted the Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams.

Mr Adams told the Dáil that following a radio interview, a man claiming to be Boylan rang his Dáil office and complained about Sinn Féin highlighting his connection to the bugging crisis and complained about journalists having personal details about him.

The Louth TD said he told Mr Boylan that “if he had concerns about regarding public comment about him, he should come out publicly to outline his position. In 2008 on the last day of his trial Boylan had six charges in connection with a €1.7m drug seizure dropped amid claims he was a garda informant and they knew he was importing drugs while working for them.
